I'm a Christian in the military. I'm at the barracks and I can hear people upstairs doing the wild thing or knowing each other if you know what I mean. How would you deal with all that moaning?

If I were in your place I would not stay in the barracks if I knew that was going on. I would go outside and find a quiet place and spend time praying for those people and others and I would spend a lot of time studying the Bible to increase my strength against the attacks of the devil. I have a prayer list printed in my Bible, and I can add anyone to it so there are plenty of people to pray for. You can include those people you mentioned, and should if you care for them at all.
You could also find things to do that are pleasing to God such as helping out people with their everyday needs like helping someone move or helping them with their studies or grocery shopping or a lot of other things. Make sure you let them know that the Lord who changed your life is the one whose love caused you to help them.
Basically what I am trying to tell you is to shift your focus. Sin is everywhere in the world and inescapable, but determining not to focus on those things will make it easier for you.
The Bible tells us that "God will not allow us to be tempted above what we are able to endure, but with every temptation He will make a way of escape that we may be able to bear it."
We sing a song in church that goes like this -
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
This is a spiritual exercise that will go a long way toward keeping us from temptation.
I hope this not only helps but enables you to walk in victory.

I do my best to make my own home a place where the spirit can dwell - and you can certainly do that with your own barrack - I remember living in dorms and having a similar experience. I did a lot of puting on headphones, listening to good music, and reading good books.

Prayer....constant communication with the Father,Son & Holy Spirit. And using Philippians 4:8 as a guide of what to think about.

toddlers do no longer certainly have a sophisticated thought technique to do exceptionally lots something yet eat, so it may be extremely no longer hassle-free for toddlers to sin. yet once you're going by ability of the thought of unique sin, then sure, they do no longer look to be so organic. although, unique sin and stuff like it incredibly is crap because of the fact how can a toddler sin?

Pray!! Pray that you do not have to be subjected to that and if you can't escape it pray that you are not hardened or permanently damaged by hearing and knowing what is going on around you. God knows what you are seeing and hearing. He know that it is something that you are trying to block out. He will help you, just talk to Him. (Make sure that you end every prayer that you ever say with "in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.") Good luck and God Bless. I will pray for you.

Pray to Jesus Christ for strength. If you can, move away from such wicked places. Like take a walk when it happens.
If that's not possible, then just put on some headphones and listen to some classic rock or music you like.

Listen to a CD player or i pod..it's not that big a deal people of the world will keep on doing these things but you have to pray that god makes you strong to say no to all the bad temptations!

Find a spot of solitude whenever you can, and focus on maintaining yourself (thoughts, words, and actions).
So when things (like that - which is tough) is around you, you will be able to slip into a mindset that takes you away from that.
"Meditation", I guess, would easily sum up that answer.

Try going far away as possible. Try listening to Christan music or preaching CDs with headphone on so that Jesus will be the only thing you hear. Pray to God, asking Him to help you overcome your lust. But most important of all, Read the Holy Bible: Can't survive temptation without it.
